That letter is an absolute embarrassment to me as a resident of this city. Did this woman even finish High School? How can she not have one individual on her staff that can construct a coherent sentence or at least proof read what she wrote? Beginning sentences with conjunctions, run on and incoherent arguments, misspellings, and zero understanding of punctuation.

I have to wonder if her entire argument is flawed! Go back to grammar school and try again please.

As a member of the East Forest park area that was ravaged by this disaster, I emplore everyone to stop treating our neighborhood like a tourist destination. We are not picking up the pieces of our lives for you to photograph. If it was your neighborhood that was destroyed, your home demolished and your life you were picking through, I doubt you would want groups of people photographing and pointing at you.

They will be caught. Bank robberies in the USA have a 90%+ conviction rate. Why is that? It is due to the fact that most banks are FDIC insured. That makes it a federal jurisdiction and it is investigated by the FBI. The FBI agents are educated professionals, not the over paid, under-educated, security guards that local police are.

The people who are speaking bad of Red Rose have NO clue what good pizza is. Red Rose is the best, there is no competition for a traditional pizza in the area. Joe's in NoHo is great for a thin crispy crust, pizza palace in 16acres is great for a greasy Greek pie, and the pizza Nazi's. Others have excellent pie's too. However, there is nothing but Red Rose that can be considered the best.

"According to Greer, he was parked at the Main Street convenience store during his diabetic attack when police broke the window of his BMW with the butt of a shotgun, dragged him through the window, beat him and accused him of having drugs. He sued officers Jeffrey M. Asher, James F. Kervick, James L. Shewchuk, James M. Moriarty and five others who were unidentified."

When I was in middle school, about 15 years ago. We all fashioned BB guns out of a hollowed out marker with a rubber glove finger attached to the end. We would then put pebbles and BB's if we had them in the finger, pull back the finger and shoot a rather powerful projectile. I would say there was a group of 20-30 of us with these. We shot each other, drew blood and eventually ended up putting holes through some windows.

When we were all eventually caught, they confiscated them, informed our parents and made an announcemnet informing the students that this wouldn't be tolerated. We were idiots, but not criminals. No police were involved, it never happened again, and not a single one of us has become a career criminal or gone on a shooting spree.

This is absurd. Every administrator, da, and police that had ANY part in this being brought to the level it has should be terminated, and prosecuted for child abuse, fraud and theft. Common sense has been lost in our society, we need to find someway to bring it back

I came upon this just after 10:00, hadn't snarled up any traffic yet. I asked the plain clothes officer who was directing traffic what the problem was and was told to "move along". I then explained I lived a little ways down the street and just want to know if there is any danger since there was a bomb squad truck, as well as enviornmental protection agencies and police. He then told me to "Mind my own business". I decided to move along, but was rather dismayed at the way this officer handled the situation. I little positive interaction with the community would go a long ways in helping the problems in this city.

To the family, I am sorry for your loss. It would be great to learn more about this young man to help put a face on the violence. Where did he work? What did he do in his spare time? What were his dreams and goals? Personalizing this tragic event may help others who need inspiration to help stop the violence plaguing our city.

Are you really that stupid that you are unable to see the problem? My good job, and great house are paid for with MY hard work! Your (and every other) deadbeats life is also paid for with MY hard work. If you ever worked in your life, you would understand that taxes are taken out of each paycheck, that is how the public assistance is paid for. It isn't just available for the taking by every lazy loser, it must be funded. There is nothing more infuriating to a working man then spending 10 hours a day working while watching the welfare recipients enjoy their day with the money I work for. Get an education and a job and see how you feel about the public assistance handouts after that.

The intended target was the barber. The barber is the father of the man who shot Kirklands mother. I hope they all rot in jail, mothers, fathers and children should all be charged. If not, they should be sterilized.
